Here,　we　demonstrate　a　facile　method　to　synthesize　an　amorphous　GeOx-coated　MXene　nanosheet　structure　as　the　anode　in　lithium-ion　batteries.　By　using　the　GeO32−　as　the　precursor,　NaBH4　as　the　reduction　agent,　we　performed　a　one-pot　in　situ　synthesis　to　prepare　a　composite　of　GeOx　nanoparticles　coated　on　MXene　nanosheet.　The　size　of　the　GeOx　nanoparticles　is　approximately　50　nm,　which　offers　abundant　contact　surface　between　active　materials　with　the　electrolyte,　as　well　as　fast　pathways　for　Li-ion　interaction.　Moreover,　the　unique　two-dimensional　MXene　nanosheet　serves　as　the　excellent　conductive　additives　to　improve　the　electrochemical　stability　and　electrical　conductivity　of　composite　when　used　in　LIBs.　The　results　indicate　that　the　GeOx/MXene　nanosheet　structure　significantly　improves　the　stability　during　the　lithiation/delithiation　processes,　with　the　enhanced　capacity　through　an　improved　kinetic　process.　Another　attractive　element　of　this　novel　anode　is　the　flexibility　to　tune　the　electrochemical　properties　by　using　different　combination　of　binder　and　solvent　when　the　slurry　is　prepared　for　the　electrode　fabrication.　The　electrode　prepared　with　polyvinylidene　fluoride　binder　and　N-methyl　pyrrolidinone　solvent　exhibits　an　excellent　sustainable　capacity　of　381　mAh　g−1　at　15　A　g−1.　By　contrast,　the　electrode　with　lithium　polyacrylate　and　de-ionized　water　delivers　a　reversible　capacity　of　950　mAh　g−1　at　0.5　A　g−1　after　100　cycles.　These　interesting　results　are　ascribed　to　the　inner　characteristic　structure　of　the　two　types　of　electrodes,　which　have　been　verified　by　electrochemical　kinetics　and　scanning　electron　microscopic　images.　It　also　reveals　that　the　different　dispersion　state　is　responsible　to　the　difference　of　electrochemical　properties,　which　highlights　the　importance　of　the　electrode　design　for　high-performance　lithium-ion　batteries.　©　2020
